Middlesex County Warrant Records Middlesex County Warrant Records

This page explains what this site can and cannot help with, and where a question about an official Middlesex County warrant should go. Nearly every request belongs with the clerk of the court that issued the warrant or with the sheriff's warrant unit, not with us. The routing below points each kind of question at the office that holds the answer, and it lists the addresses and phone numbers to use. Call before you travel.

This Is Not a Government or Law Enforcement Office. This is a private reference site. It cannot confirm that a warrant exists, recall or clear one, post bail, or arrange a surrender, and the people who run it cannot give legal advice. Those requests belong with the issuing court or with the sheriff's warrant unit.

Need Official Warrant Information?

Most readers in Middlesex County are looking for one of four things. Each one has a different office behind it.

  • Whether a warrant exists: the clerk's office in the court division named on the docket is the office that reads the file and states the current case status
  • A default warrant after a missed court date: the District Court division or Superior Court that handled the case holds that file and decides on any recall
  • Resolving or clearing a warrant: a licensed Massachusetts attorney can lay out the choices, and the issuing court controls a recall, a surrender, or bail
  • An arrest warrant tied to a charge: the court authorizes the warrant and sets bail, while police officers or the sheriff's warrant unit serve it

The county-level agency for outstanding felony warrants is the Middlesex Sheriff's Warrant Apprehension Unit. It locates and apprehends people named in Middlesex County felony warrants and works with local police, the Massachusetts State Police, and federal task forces. The unit is based at 269 Treble Cove Road, Billerica, MA 01824, and its published contact is Captain George Karelas at 617-682-4890. The sheriff's main number is 781-960-2800. Neither address is a walk-in warrant counter, so call before traveling.

For records rather than warrant status, the sheriff's Records Access Officer is Megan McLatchey in the Legal Division, at 12 Gill Street, Suite 4700, Woburn, MA 01801, phone 781-960-2830. A written request that names the record type, the date range, and the format you want moves faster than an open-ended one.
